[United Nations Association - UK (UNA-UK) @UNAUK]

Weak, unaccountable + highly politicised recruitment practices mean that the UN's election system is neither meritocratic nor diverse.

We need merit based appointments in our shared institutions.

[UN Development @UNDP]

Women are often the glue that keep societies together during conflict.

When women are at the negotiating table, peace agreements are 35% more likely to last at least 15 years.

To #BuildForwardBetter, women must be included in decision-making. #IWD2021 https://t.co/12Z96XToJx

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

On #InternationalWomensDay , we pay tribute to all those women pushing the boundaries of scientific understanding and safeguarding public health.

On #WomenInScience Day, let us celebrate and thank all women who are on the frontlines of the global #COVID19 response. Today, I'd like to pay tribute to Dr. Özlem Türeci, who was responsible for the science behind the COVID-19 vaccination that I myself received. #Vaccines4All.

[Annalena Baerbock @UN_PGA]

I convened an informal meeting on #COVID19's impact on @UN's work. As PGA, my main concern is to ensure the uninterrupted & effective functioning of #UNGA. Thanks to our determination & strong support from Member States & the Secretariat we have continued our important work.

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

#NuclearWeapons pose growing dangers. The world needs urgent action to ensure their elimination & prevent catastrophic human & environmental consequences. Elimination of nuclear weapons remains the highest disarmament priority for @UN.

#NuclearBan Treaty enters into force today.
